This place is awesome! It’s sad that a previous reviewer like Twinkle left a one star review because of their ineptitude.

There is so much more to see here than I expected! A huge collection of really fascinating items and artifacts related to mining and life in Victor and surrounding areas of that time.. I especially loved the upstairs rooms.
